The Boyce Headlight has vari-
GUS and sundry inexact retailers Of
information about this place, one
of whom makes the astounding
statement that there is no boom IN
building OF business in Colfax.
while another tries to make it
appear that Colfax plays second
fiddle to Paramount All the same
the editor of the Headlight is not
mislead by any such Wild state
ments, but proceeds to put the
result of his practical observations
in cold type, thus:
There is flne opening for some en-.
terprising gentleman, with : smal
capital, to run steaMb0at between
Colfax and Boyce. Hundreds Of bslel
Of cotton ere being hauled from Colfal
to B0yce for transportation, and ffeigh
Of every kind in large quantities 7
constantly passing between the tw'
towns.

A Railroad Through Grant
Parish.

l3IlSUs
In letter from Colonel w. b.
johnson, president of the Little
Rock and Alexandria railroad,
dated Little Rock, Sept IA, he
states that a meeting of the direc-
tors of his road was had and>that
everything was about arranged for
the building of this road The
survey will be begun in sixty days,
and then work will commence at
once on the building of the road.
This will be gratifying news to
our people, as the railroad in con-
temptation will pass through the
entire length of Grant parish, and
may be looked upon as the intro
duction of the prosperous era for
which we have waited SO patiently
and SO long. An election has been
ordered by the town council Of
Alexandria for October 29th, to
take the sense of the people Of
that town as to giving aid by donat.
ing thirty acres of ground and
levying a 5-min tax for ten years
and it is asserted that the election
will be carried almost unanimously
as the citizens are largely in favor
of the enterprise.

The Constitutional Centennial.
The great jubilee held at Phila-
delphia on the 18th, 18th and 18th
of this month was a rival of the
celebration of 1876. One of the
largest parades that was ever re-
viewed in this country passed be-
fore President and Mrs. Cleveland
This jubilee was held in commemo-
ration of the adoption of the Con-
stitution of the United States in
September, 1887, that instrument
not having been formally adopted
until more than two years after
the signing of the Declaration Of
Independence. It is thought that
fully a million and q half of people
Witnessed the parade. Professional
industrial displays illustrated in
contrast the custom, characteristics
commerce, arts, implements of in.
dustry, ETC., ETC., of 1857 with
those of 1887. This ocular dem.
onstration of the changes in oul
national progress was q most In
teresting feature of the occasion
and the display is said to have
been the most magnificent evel
witnessed on American soil.
